Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 20 mins


• whisk the flour and 2 tablespoons of white sugar together in a small bowl until combined; set aside. whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small saucepan until smooth. place the saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir constantly. once the mixture is warm, whisk in the flour mixture, and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. whisk constantly as the sauce cooks to keep it from scorching. once thick, keep warm over low heat.
• beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. finally, beat in the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• pour the hot sauce over the egg whites, and gently fold together using a rubber scraper until well incorporated. do not mix vigorously, or the egg whites will deflate. serve warm.
